I loooove this place for breakfast. Everything is fresh and great, and it's a large restaurant so there's not usually a wait (at least by the time we get up and out).
I love the vegetarian sausage patties, which taste just like ... sausage patties. You may be thinking, "Julie - you jerkoff - if meat grosses you out so much, why would you love realistic sausage patties?" I'll tell you why, hater. Because they use the same yummy spices but my teeth don't squeak on a piece of gristle or pork throat and my brain isn't whispering to me that I'm eating bunghole.
Amazing fluffy, homemade buttermilk biscuits. Great omelets and pancakes and everything else. Huge menu with all kinds of good, classic American food. Prompt and friendly service. And the moto parking is right across the street - yay.
My boyfriend and I stumbled across the Mission location of the Pork Store on Sunday while looking for a place to have brunch.
We got a bit of a late start (it was the morning/ afternoon after Halloween) and had a hard time finding places to eat. Places were either completely packed and we couldn't get a seat, they were already closing or they weren't open yet.
We finally walked into the Pork Store around 14:30 and were able to be seated right away.
Our waitress was friendly and attentive, at first. We started off with mimosas, which came quickly enough. Then we ordered our food, which didn't take too long.
My boyfriend got the huevos rancheros, which he said was pretty good and I ordered the eggs in a tasty nest, which was delicious at first, but I could only eat about the first quarter of it before I began to experience fat and sodium overload. It's two eggs nestled in a nest of hashbrowns, onions, tomatoes, peppers with lots of bacon and cheese to top it off. Very savory, but definitely enough for two if you aren't a big cheesy fat eater.
The best part of my meal was the two fresh biscuits that came with it. They are cooked fresh in the restaurant about every 20 minutes and they were nice and hot when they came out on my plate. The only down side was that the waitress didn't bring any butter or honey with them. I had to wait 20 minutes before she walked by to ask for some. Luckily they have them in little single serve packets, which made the biscuits even better!
The rest of our experience was only so-so. My boyfriend was happy because he was able to watch Brett Favre beat the Packers for the second time this season on the big screen tv that hangs over the bar.
Our waitress pretty much disappeared once our food was served. She never came by to refill our water glasses, which sat empty through our entire meal. She was friendly, but absent.
This is a great place to grab brunch if you are not in a hurry and don't mind slow service. I enjoyed having a lazy Sunday out, but my boyfriend was starting to get annoyed towards the end.
I cant believe what a diametrically opposed experience i had this past weekend here , i usually have consistently loved this restaurant. But something about the changes in the menu ,coupled with some of the staff just angers me.
I came in to eat alone.It was busy so i gave somewhat of a pass for how i was treated. The hostess that day that seated me was a total doll I wish i had taken her name.I also wish I had taken the name of the horrible waitress who ended up waiting on me. The only time she paid attention to me is when I ordered, I wish she had come back sooner so I could have told her how horrible my Eggs Gravlax was and how the lox was so undercooked I was concerned of getting food poisoning.But no she was too busy I guess working about larger parties or something. I actually had to flag her down to get my check since it was a good 45 minutes since we had any interaction and I'm not kidding.
Don't get the eggs gravlax, and this place needs to have more waitstaff that realize that whether it be one patron or 10 at a table , we all matter equally.

Man, ok. So here's the deal:
If you can get past the name (PORK store... I'm pescetarian so the name kind of grosses me out, but anyways...), this place rocks.
One word best describes the food:
HEARTY!
Their breakfasts, while not exactly cheap, are so hearty, filling, and delicious. Big portions. Everything ha a "fire-cooked" taste, if that makes sense. Be sure to ask for some salsa to put on your veggie omelet (it roxxx!).
I'm not super obsessed with PSC by any means, but all-in-all I'm a fan.
:)
P.S. I've never seen any roaches there (that doesn't necessarily mean there aren't any, though).
I met 2 friends at PSC for brunch today (Saturday at 11:30am). I was there early and sat at the bar. Service was friendly, the greeter was affable and asked me to let her know when the party of 3 was there and we would be seated right away. The coffee was tasty and the counter and counter person were on it.. College football was on the flat screen, and the hipsters were buzzing about enjoyably. We were seated quickly in the best spot in the house, left of the entrance corner booth. We ordered-the food was on the table and in our mouths quicker than you can say strawberry rhubarb pie. Steak and Eggs (medium well and over easy) with hash browns and toast, glass of Apple Juice). The meal had the ness- yummyness, timelinesss and friendliness. I will holla back, hopefully for the challlah french toast.
Went there this morning. It was meh - okay, but nothing special. It's fairly inexpensive, by SF standards - so that's good. The biscuits were tasty. All in all - nothing special.
Hipsters, cute waitresses and comfort food on a sunny Saturday afternoon in the Mission, a night after binge drinking at a pre-Halloween party - that pretty much sums it up. The Belgian waffle was a bit dry but for some reason it still hit the spot. Maybe it was our Cuban missle of a server that made it ok but everything was good, from the country fried steak smothered in a rich gravy to the charbroiled pork chops to the iced tea. Sides of apple sausage and corned beef hash were icing on the cake. The full bar opposite the dining area was tempting but it was all about people watching and good food from our comfy booth in the back.
With the yummy hollandaise, and awesome hashbrown nests, the nice waiter, and the cozy yet hip ambiance, it would have been five stars...
but we found a COCKROACH making itself at home on my husbands shirt just as we were paying the bill, getting ready to head out the door.
I grabbed my napkin, pinched the insect off of him, dropped it on the table ...and we high-tailed our asses out of there.
Sorry Pork, but roaches draw the line straight to NEVER AGAIN.
Upon waking this morning I found a slew of missed calls and texts, a heavy head, and the need to take the longest piss ever. I needed eggs, toast, and potatoes to get me in to shape.
Is it possible to feel worse after eating a hangover away? The tasty nest was awful.
This is a good place to break up with someone over brunch.
How can anything called the "Pork Store" be veggie-friendly? Well this place is and it's A-OK!
Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices and friendly staff make this a place I want to go back to!
What is wrong with me?!? I finally went to one of the Pork Stores and I didn't even order any pig products! For shame!
On with the show:
I ordered some Potato Skins (they misspell lots on the menu, hahaha, including "potatoe"), which was surprisingly less than I expect in such an order. It's essentially just 2 potato skins, but they slice them lengthwise into about 5 or so strips each. I guess it works for now, and though very tasty, this was a total let-down. Dammit, I was expecting at least a full potato or two of them. At least they were darned tasty. It's hard to mess up anything that has bacon pieces on it. WAIT! I did ingest a little bacon while here! SCORE!
Because I was hungrier than I first expected, I ordered the Risotto after trying a bite from a friend's plate. Wow, this shizzz is GOOD! Definitely get it, but ask that you get a good portion of what I think is the spinach mixed in. My friend's plate had lots mixed in, while mine was either lacking or just buried on the bottom. Either way, it was damned good.
To drink, I had an Anchor Steam, which was unfortunately not from tap, followed by something that Sam Adams makes in a tap. I went with the Sam's because it was drink #2 and therefore less likely to matter. I just wanted something not gross that also happen to come from a tap. Good plan!
The prices are OK. I think the Risotto was a bit much at almost $11, but at last it was very tasty. The skins were about $5 and both drinks are just under $5 each. So overall, my experience was about a 4 star.
Next time, I shall order a pulled pork sandwich, or something similar with a majority of pork product. Some at my table had this and raved about it. Damn, what was I thinking? Risotto? Hahaha...
i love this place. i love the coffee, the eggs in a tasty nest, the eggs benedict, the pulled bbq pork sandwich, the pancakes, the biscuit... i love it all!
the only downsides... sometimes the waitstaff are so busy they forget to check on you (but they're really nice!)
i love pork store
I'm an addict and a bad Jew. I love their Biscuits with Sausage Gravy. So help me G-d, it's like a bit of heaven in my mouth. And for a lousy $3.50, it's the best brunch deal in the city!! I order mine with a side of two poached eggs, dump them on top, and go to sacrilegious town on it!! Oy, so good...
Other not-to-be-missed specialties here? The Onion Rings are DELISH!!! My partner swears by the Hot Link Scramble, which is not so much my thing, but he devours it like a dog in the litterbox! I've also had the Pancakes, which are tasty and flavorful, the Belgian Waffle, which is exactly what you want when you order a Belgian Waffle, and the Caesar Salad, which isn't special, but gets the job done.
Some other items of note: The prices are incredibly reasonable here, the line for a table around brunch on the weekend can be long, and the place closes too damn early (4 pm?? Really?????). Oh, Pork Store, if only you were open for dinner...!
Saturday morning. Strolled in after saying 'no' to the empty crepery next door. I got the Eggs in a tasty nest, which I expected to be layers of food, but when it came out, was a mix mush of everything described. I'm probably just a huge snob, so I expect things to be brought out a certain way. From the description, I thought all the items would be layered, not mixed. Hash Brows, Bacon, Fresh Tomatos, Peppers. Not the case, and in fact, as refreshing as fresh tomatos are, these were NOT fresh. They seemed to be cooked and watery; not a good addition to the crispy hash browns.
Im going to try this place again. Their waffle looked delicious. Stike 1, shame on you. Strike 2, shame on me.
After a long and painful night shift I sought to meet a co-worker for an intoxicated, non-health conscious breakfast. I was met with three surprises:
1) TWO co-workers also post-night shift
2) A FULL BAR
3) Some of the best "greasy spoon" breakfast food I've had the pleasure of annihilating.
The place was bustling, the server was fast, and the Bloody Mary was...perfect.
My new default hungover breakfast spot.
When I used to live closer to the original Pork Store location in the Haight, I fell in love instantly and always take friends to the place for breakfast. The only downside was that it closed at 3pm.
Then I found out that The Pork Store opened a new location in the Mission right at 16th and Valencia and I was thrilled, but the news kept getting better: They're open until late night, as late as 3am or so on the weekends! I know that the Yelp page says they close everyday at 4pm, but please know that's entirely not true. Wait, it gets better: there's a full bar at this location... that means late night breakfast with a pint of beer!! This is too good, especially with their reasonably low prices for food.
Nope, it gets better still. The place is owned by a Middle-Eastern dude, turns out he's a good friend of my uncle. I'm also Middle-Eastern, and I happen to know that we'll try to incorporate hookah at any and every business because it's such a money-maker... it's like our natural instinct or something. Lo and behold, YOU CAN HOOKAH THERE! $15 for a hookah, not bad for a group (but not that impressive if you hookah at home). They're huge, gorgeous hookahs too.
Yeah, I think The Pork Store Valencia has everything I could possibly desire in one location: cheap and delicious American breakfast, massive and also surprisingly cheap burgers, full bar with $4 pints, and hookahs; the only think that would make it perfect is if I could put my own special blend in the hookah.
I've been there maybe 4 or 5 times. The most recent visit was last week, after me and three other friends had a few drinks in the Mission. To be honest, our service wasn't that great that time, but it could have been much worse. I usually get decent service when I go.
This was a pretty good place to start the morning off before hitting Outside Lands Festival. I had the Eggs Benedict, a side of chicken apple sausage and a Pommosa. The Bennie was good, eggs poached to perfection and the Hollandaise sauce was tasty as well. The chicken apple sausage... I have to say I was a tad disappointed with it... very little flavor. :(
The man seemed to enjoy his crab hash and pancakes though!
Service was a-ok, but what got me was the fact that there was NO A/C! I know we were in SF and all, but it was sweltering in there with the kitchen and all the people.
It's a saturday morning. Guy I am sort of dating is laying in my bed, and I'm sitting on the floor not wanting to get back in bed, hoping he will leave soon. Instead, he suggests we get brunch. My love for brunch superseded my desire to make this guy leave, and never see him again, so I said ok.
He knows I am a vegetarian, so when we walked up to the place he had in mind, and I saw it was the pork store, I thought maybe this was his way of telling me he never wanted to see me again too. In any case, we had to wait for about 15 mins to get seated. Then he tells me we came here because they have a full bar. So we order two double bloody marys, and I begin to think maybe this guy isn't so bad after all. The drinks were ok, strong enough. Then we both decide to order the TASTY NEST, mine without bacon. It is described as having two eggs nestled in a bed of hash browns, but what we got were two eggs sitting on top of hash browns, cheese and peppers. I felt cheated, and combined with the fact that I was torturing myself by not eating it with bacon, I left kinda disappointed but drunk at least thanks to that second bloody mary I ordered while the guy ran to put more change in the meter.
This is my new favorite go-to brunch spot.
Here's why:
THEY HAVE BISCUITS!!! (they aren't the best ever, but they do okay)
Lots and lots and lots of seating
Much of that seating is outdoors
Never have to wait for a table
$4.50 tumbler-sized mimosas
veggie sausage that is *almost* as good as the real thing
It's called "Pork Store"
They have really cool lamp shades all along the ceiling inside
Only drawback is that it is pretty dark inside. That's why you sit outside! Problem solved.
Great prices, HUGE portions and did I mention you never have to wait?
A good man admits when he's wrong.
So here I am eating crow.
Only because I ate the 49er breakfast plate though.
What a beautiful dish, I tell ya' - the sausage gravy and biscuits are PERFECT.
I must also admit to being erroneous about my estimation of the courtesy of the wait staff as well.
I did have several blase experiences here, but since then the staff has been awesome and I'm beginning to question perhaps my own attitude on those prior visits.
Who knows?
Anyway they deserve this here update and crow never tasted so good.
Get the 49er, it's good.
I've eaten here three times now.
They always make me feel like such a loser.
I don't like crowds, so I…

Greaaaat brunch, Delish drinks, and super-sweet waitstaff. Sit inside, sit outside, eat at a table, drink by the bar, talk with friends, watch the game. Really - what else do you need to know? Just go!
Breakfast was tasty, but this 16th St. establishment just can't shake the dodgy and slightly cracked out atmosphere of the surrounding block. But heck, if you are in the market for biscuits & gravy, a pair of florescent green jeans, a VCR, and some cassette tapes, then you are in luck on this block.
It's always a strengthening experience when one engages in "contempt prior to investigation", investigates, then realizes that he acted like a world-class schmuck. If learned from, the experience can provide valuable insight into said schmuck's character defects.
Such was my experience at the Pork Store. Let me say this:
The food is excellent, and despite what others have written, the service was excellent as well.
I recently wrote a damaging review, because I thought my CC had been fraudulently charged. It turns out that the waitress accidentally swiped my card twice. An easy mistake when there are 2 gold Wells Fargo cards in play. The manager of this cafe is soft-spoken and disarming, a valued quality in a person and in a restaurant manager. I left the restaurant after resolving the mistake feeling very much willing to come back time and time again. Great food, good service, and I extend a heartfelt and humble apology to the young, beautiful dark-haired waitress that I was so quick to slam/condemn earlier this week. :-)
I wrote a review for this place back in March; however, that review was based on my past experiences at The Pork Store. Now, since I visited this past Thursday, I am updating my experience. Let me start by saying that I hadn't actually eaten at The Pork Store for maybe a year or so, but I pass by every now and again after leaving Blondie's, going to the bank, visiting a nearby establishment, etc. What I have noticed is that it is either closed or eerily vacant. When I used to frequent The Pork Store on a weekly basis, the place was always full of people--inside and out. Anyway, so here is my latest experience: NASTY!
The dinner menu has diminished and the quality of food is lacking. I only ate my food because I was under the spell of the green goblin. If I was in my right mind, I would have sent the overly cheesed turkey sandwich back to the kitchen; and my friend would have sent his flat a-- pancakes back as well. Although it was quite early on a Thursday when we visited, there was only (maybe) two other tables occupied. It was a ghost town up in there.
From my observations, I think ownership has changed, and for the worst. I can honestly say that my days of savoring the Nadia Scramble are OVA! Peace, Porkie!
I would actually give 4 stars if the waiting staff were a bit more friendly. In a word: rude. … Read more »
one of the best home cooking places in the city, yea sure they have some non fat stuff but why bother :)
bad side its very very popular these days, if you dont mind a wait its worth it!
if your a food snob, you may not like it ], things are mixed its greasy and reminds you of grandmas cooking (at least my german grandma), sure again they have other things on the menu but alas I go there for a treat and to oink oink (pork out) :)
It was ok.
We were seated immediately and for a Sunday, that was really great.
Coffee was not good.
Service was OK.
We ordered the Breakfast Wrap-ups. It would have been good, but the chipotle was so hot that I could not even eat it. I tried taking the sauce off and it got a little better. To their defense it did say spicey chipotle, but this was like a 10 out of 10 on the burn your tounge off scale!!! WHOOH! I think they could have warned us a little better.
Not really impressed overall and do not think I will ever go back.
I really do like The Pork Store (see review on TPS in the Haight), but this location wasn't the hottest.
It was Monday mid-day and I wanted a good old American breakfast: pancakes, pork, eggs, etc. My roommate and I came here and she was a little hesitant. She did say she liked the Haight one better but I insisted because I know that the food is good at TPS.
We should've had crepes next door.
We sat, ordered our food, and waited. It seemed like they were extremely understaffed because there was only one server waiting on all the tables, both inside and outside. A couple of times it seemed like our server was avoiding us, when we tried to ask for me water or utensils to eat our food with. Then, when we paid for our bill, she charged the wrong bill on the wrong card.
We understand it sucks when you're the only one working. But both my roomie and I have both worked as servers and we both agree that a little acknowledgment for our customers is nice.
The food was okay. I did ask for grease and grease is exactly what I got.
Note to self: only go to TPS in the Haight. Despite the wait, it's much nicer.
Been going to the Pork Store in the year since I lived in the Mission, and I must say I always loved the Pork Store. The chicken fried steak is the best hangover cure I've ever eaten. Though, what caused me to finally write the review was the omelette I tried this weekend! It was far and away the best omelette I've ever eaten!!! The sundried tomato and feta omelette was the best eggs I've ever eaten! Definitely worth a sunday experience!
Out of all the great places in the Mission to eat, I'm not sure why so many people continue to come here.
The food is mediocre; I'm not a foodie at all, I'll pretty much eat anything on a plate, but even I was discouraged by how everything seemed to have pounds of salt on it; the eggs, bacon, toast, everything was salty!
Waiter services was horrible, every 10-15 minutes another waiter was dropping a glass on the floor or spilling water on a table. Not to mention the curt, rude attitude they all had while serving - I'm not a prude or anything, but a smile doesn't hurt!
Menu options are average, nothing too special with the choices - glorified diner that doesn't deserve the fame it has.
I love this restaurant for breakfast and brunch. If I lived near the mission I would probably be tempted to come eat here every day. I've never been here when it was particularly busy, and I've never had any issues with the service. I've found them to be polite, reasonably prompt, and I love that they're one of the only restaurants that's never carded me for drinks.
They have a huge menu with a wide variety of breakfast and lunch foods, good for carnivores to vegans. Even the friend allergic to gluten had no problems finding food here. My personal favorite is the scralifornia omelet. Another great thing about Pork Store is the huge minosas, for only $4 each. They can also flavor them with juices other than orange, such as cranberry.
Sure, it's a little bit dirty and run down looking inside, but I don't really care. I'm too busy enjoying the food and good service.
Sitting here today, I felt rushed.
Rushed to get home to write this update:
Omelette - CRAP. Whatever moisture ever existed in these eggs went to egg-hell a long time before coming onto my plate.
Bagel - CRAP. It was served with "I wasn't sure if you prefer it this way, but we can redo it if you want." Presented before me was a basically black bagel. WHO on this planet prefers it that way? (And I didn't ask them to redo it - any kitchen that burnt the life out of a bagel and desecreated the eggs doesn't deserve a second chance.)
Service - CRAP CRAP.
All of it was CRAP.... $32.... flushed down the toilet.
Homie ain't doin' that again.
Up to this point, I had only frequented The Pork Store in the Haight. http://www.yelp.com/bi...

After purchasing lots of groupons, I finally got a chance to use my first one. We decided to head on to this place in the Mission area for breakfast / lunch. The place was packed, the turn around fast, so we got a table for 2, the hostess aka busgirl aka cashier was very fast and nice. We ordered a steak w/mushrooms and mashed potatoes and spinach, my man ate the whole thing! We also ordered a side of biscuit and sausage gravy, now that was the best so far! Also a Philly steak and cheese w/ fresh cut fries. The whole thing was gobbled up in a matter of minutes, lol.....Service was fast and quick, I bought the groupon for 15 bucks, and it gave us 30 bucks worth of food, ended up paying an extra 99 cents plus a five dollar tip, well worth it for a local cafe, guaranteed satisfied!!! Besides dining in, tons of people came in for take out, that says it all!!!
Not sure what the hell was going on yesterday as I was ready to leave. It was Labor Day, and not busy. Granted, we were starving, alas we got parked in the front right section by the window. I have never been seated here, and w/ good reason. We were left waiting forever, no water, no waitress nothing. I was ready to walk to be honest. Finally our waitress came over when I waved someone down. Menu has changed and salad options are low. I am not motivated to come back. I use to love this spot, yet am now really disappointed.
Yum, aside from all the crazy hipsters outside waiting. What is up w/ that? PS- white belts and… Read more »
the service here left more to be desired. we had to seat ourselves and it took awhile for them to take our order. apparently it was a "hectic" night, even though 80% of the tables were empty. the place was also a bit dirty. luckily we found a table that was actually clean.
so why 5 stars you ask? after we ate our meal, we realized that we didn't have enough cash and that we had left the plastic at home. instead of them making a big deal about it, they told us to just call with the card info when we got home. they turned a tough situation into a smooth one.
also, the food was very good and the portions were gigantic! my chicken cheesesteak was juicy and big and it came with a ton of fries. cath's baby back ribs were enough to feed 2. also our waitress, who had a cute english or maybe austrailian accent, was a doll.
so overall, the food here is pretty darn good and will fill you up. they are open very late, so it's a perfect spot for food after hitting up the bars in the mission. you can also smoke hookah in here, provided by morak next door. but this place is 5 stars for me because they took care of us when we needed it.
I agree with Dre. Z.
we specifically asked for fresh OJ and the waitress said it's fresh squeezed... LIAR. It tasted like frozen concentrate.
LIAR LIAR LIAR.
I don't care how good the biscuits are when you lie straight to our faces.
If you want fresh squeezed OJ in the mornings, go to The Grove or Squat and Gobble
Got a groupon for this place, $15 for $30 worth of food, awesome! My friend and I chowed down on a yummy salmon salad and a Pomosa (champagne and pomegranate juice). My friend had the caesar salad and bloody mary. All the food and drinks were delicious! Especially loved sitting outside at the tables in the front. Everything else on the menu looked good as well, and lots of veggie options!
Ate here this morning with a friend and his parents. I had just come out of working a 12-hour overnight shift so I was starving!
I ordered the blueberry shortstack pancakes and a side of grits. The pancakes were huge! And they served a lot of extra blueberries on the side. The grits were good also, all they need is butter salt and pepper.
The place is great for breakfast, and has a really comfortable home-town feel to it. Love all the lamps as decoration!
Its the right price (cheap), and the right level of busy-ness (not at all), and the right level of inebriation (full bar available) in an area of town where you may have to wait forever to sit down and eat otherwise.
Its not like its great food, but it isn't terrible either. The bar is like an airport bar in terms of selection, so if you've already got a buzz going, this is going to sustain it, but don't expect crazy liquors or concoctions coming your way out of it either.
I'd keep it in my back pocket for when I need some food in the area, want a seat, and want a drink.
This place is a solid, gets the job done kinda spot, but even though it's a full-on restaurant, set your expectations to hole-in-the wall lunch counter, and you're set.
The veg options are decent (I always wind up asking my friends to help me decide whether my sausage is meat), the spot is aiite . . . but for some reason I always end up leaving feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
Sometimes the service is dodgy, sometimes the food is overly greasy . . . you know. Square peg, round hole.
I come back every so often, and it's pretty much the same, and 3pm brunch and mimosas are alright by me, but git 'er done is all she's got, boys.
Also, I wish they did do substitutions on the tasty nest. :(
Of the two (that I know of) this is clearly the red-headed stepchild.
I actually don't think I'm biased based upon my current location either. I used to live much closer to this one but still preferred the Upper Haight location. Of course now I live in the Lower Haight and it's a short jaunt next to BV park....very scenic way to ease into brunch/breakfast-highly recommended.
They one striking difference between the two is the amount of space. The Valencia location has an easier time accommodating 4 tops and higher...so this may be better for larger groups. You'll be sat quicker here than the UH location but the food quality reflects the expansion of consumers. I believe the law of diminishing return easily applies to breakfast places in regards to number of tables to turn throughout the morning.
Really small places seem to mess up too much and/or the waits are too long and/or you feel rushed to turn that table. I've had numerous friends work the breakfast server circuit and turning tables is the only way to real money. A large place gets more customers...then cooks...then servers...then even hostesses...then floor managers...then...food bought in obscene bulk amounts...the tipping point of the combination of quality and sincere service is usually right before the breakfast place gets too big.
The essence of The Pork Store is here...but this is just watered down version of the UH location. All the dishes have been passable, service usually passable, place is nice...etc etc...but it could just be tighter.
